Oval-8 Finger Splint Sizing Set by 3-Point Products

Works

Mallet finger is not something you want to have, but working in my garage I got this unpleasant surprise. Got stax splints which were ok, but the skin started macerating under the plastic splint, no matter the small holes there. I used a bit of gauze/bandage to wrap the finger before inserting it inside the stax splint. Still not perfect, because you needed to keep the finger dry or else you'd need to change the wrapping again. The best choice was to get the Oval-8 splints. I looked for the best offer since I'm in EU and have to pay the "lovely" customs taxes and VAT too, besides the shipping cost. Getting a single Oval-8 splint or a set of three might not have been the best idea, if they didn't fit well. So I bought the Oval-8 Splint Sizing Set, well worth the higher cost. There is a huge difference between the regular stax splint and Oval-8 ones. With an Oval-8 splint you do not worry about washing your hands, including the hurt finger. It is small and very versatile. No more sore skin. But if you intend to play basketball or work with tools maybe replace it with the stax in that period. Though I never had to do it. Skin breathes, you can do almost everything you did before the injury (of course being more careful this time), since you can barely observe and feel the Oval-8 splint on your finger. Plus, if by any unfortunate event you hurt other fingers you can easily use another splint from the set. They can also be used for arthritis, trigger finger etc. Highly recommended!

Product is contained in a plastic storage box which is good, however, the sizing is different to the genuine oval 8 product (oval 8 size 9 is size 8 with this product) and definitely a cheaper copy with a few sharp edges. They're not the same colour or smooth finish as the genuine article. Also, oval 8 has two ways to fit a finger, one is tight and the other is less tight. This is done by angling the single piece bridge. These are totally flat so don't work correctly.

El producto era muy útil para mi porque tengo artrosis pero no me llego así que se me hizo la cancelación de compra

The key sampler gives you a splint for every size of finger, especially convenient for people suffering from arthritis of the hands, which can very from time to time

certainly more user friendly than the normal mallet finger splints obtainable in UK. Comfortable to wear and light weight.
